Some insight:

• https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-uscis-office/international-offices/mexico-uscis-mexico-city-field-office
• https://www.uscis.gov/content/nativedoc/process-responding-request-dos-accept-locally-filed-form-i-130-petition-alien-relative

The USCIS Mexico City Field Office has jurisdiction for Canada. That Field Office Director is the one that gives the authorization (see page 3 of the 2nd link for the full process).

Thank you for the links, appreciate it.

I am a If in doubt Expedite. sort of person, but you need a move date, sometime in the future is unlikely to hack it.

I’ll have a date when I’ll be transferring to US office. My employer said that I’ll be transferring soon and they will give me a notice to move to US 1 months before the move.

Everyone wants his/her case to be expedited...but the harsh truth is that the immigration process DEMANDS a great deal of knowledge, planning, time, patience, and money.......good luck.

Yes very true. I agree with you. Mentally preparing myself:)

The last one, but 1 to 3 months is unrealistic.

I don’t expect the case to be done in 1-3 months. I was saying I’ll have to transfer to us office in 1-3minths.  I’ll be happy if they can expedite it and approve in 6months 

I wonder why us consulate included this as one of the reasons to expedite “    Short notice of position relocation: A U.S. Citizen petitioner, living and working abroad, who receives job relocation within the same company or subsidiary to the United States, or an offer of a new job in the United States with very little notice (employment letter is required)”

If you were thinking of an expedite due to being separated from your child that won’t work.

 

i also lived overseas 5 years with my wife and our child was 2.5 years old. I also tried to expedite a few different ways but to no avail. 

 seems it’s hard to get approval for expediting cases

How long have you been married? If over 2 years, then your can apply for IR for your wife and from the little I've seen on this forum, the process is faster than if you were newly married, but the process would still take months. 

Married for 5 years.

Well theoretically it may be possible but not within 1 to 3 months.

Thank you for your replies. I emailed us consulate and here is their response:

You have reached the Immigrant Visa Unit at the U.S. Consulate General in Montreal. We process only U.S. Immigrant Visa applications that are pending at our office. According to our records we do not have a pending immigrant visa case for you at the U.S. Consulate General in Montreal.

I-130 petitions are usually filed in the USA with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). In a limited number of exceptional circumstances, USCIS may authorize the Department of State to adjudicate I-130 at a Consulate abroad only in certain emergency situations, including when:

•                     A U.S. service member stationed overseas becomes aware of a new deployment or transfer with very little notice.

•                     A petitioner or beneficiary is facing an urgent medical emergency that requires immediate travel.

•                     A petitioner or beneficiary is facing an imminent threat to personal safety.

•                     A beneficiary is within a few months of aging out of eligibility.

•                     The petitioner and family have traveled for the immigrant visa interview, but the petitioner has naturalized and the family member(s) require a new, stand-alone petition.

•                     The petitioner adopted a child and there is an imminent need to leave the country.

•                     Short notice of position relocation: A U.S. Citizen petitioner, living and working abroad, who receives job relocation within the same company or subsidiary to the United States, or an offer of a new job in the United States with very little notice (employment letter is required).

nope.

Can you please specify why?

Hi guys, 

min new to this forum and immigration process in general, but I researched a lot on the topic of IR-1.

Hope I can get some clarification and help. 

Here is my situation.

Im a US citizen living abroad with my wife (Canadian) and a daughter (Canadian/American). I worked as a subcontractor  for 4 years for one company, in January I became an employee of it. Now this company is opening an office in States and wants to transfer me with 1-3(max)months notice. I understand that sponsorship for my wife through USCIS will take at least 12 months. 

Can i I apply through us consulate to expedite the case? Was anyone successful in that kind of scenario?   

There is no DCF available. 

Thank you in advance
